Seminars and company events
Hôtel Marielle can host a seminar of up to 80 people in theatre layout, in a four-star hotel at the foot of the slopes in Val Thorens, in the Savoie Alps. The meeting space covers 86 square meters and works as one room or two, separated by a partition. It suits a winter board meeting, a sales kickoff or a team retreat where work sessions alternate with time on the slopes.
In U-shape or classroom layout the space takes up to 36 people. The rooms come with a video projector, a screen, a sound system, a microphone, a flipchart and writing sets. Coffee and tea are served throughout the day, and breaks are part of the meeting offer. On request the hotel arranges activities through local partners: ski and snowboard lessons, a zip line, snowshoe walks, sledge rides, a toboggan run, an igloo bar and après-ski evenings.
Rooms and capacities
The seminar space is the only event room listed on the official site. Count on 80 people for a plenary in theatre style and 36 for a working format at tables. Splitting the space in two allows a plenary followed by a breakout session, or two parallel workshops for smaller groups. The site does not name the two rooms or give their separate sizes.
Accommodation
The hotel has 83 rooms and apartments in a vintage mountain style, so a group can sleep, meet and eat under one roof. The Spa NUXE adds a sauna and treatment rooms with a view across the peaks from the Pointe de Thorens to the Cime Caron, which gives organisers a ready option for a wind-down slot at the end of a working day.
Catering
Meals stay on site. M Restaurant serves gastronomic and traditional Alpine cooking at 2,253 meters. M Gourmet Snack has a large terrace above the slopes for a quick lunch between sessions and runs. The Bar du Marielle is open from morning to late evening, and an evening buffet is served in the hotel. For a seminar group this means lunches, dinners and an evening drink without any transfer.
History and setting
Val Thorens sits at the head of the Belleville valley, within the municipality of Les Belleville, and is one of the highest ski resorts in Europe, connected to the Three Valleys ski area. The hotel stands at the bottom of the runs, across from the meeting point of the French ski school (ESF), so participants can be on skis a few minutes after the last session. The site does not mention weddings or private receptions, so the venue is best treated as a business destination for the winter season.
Getting there
The nearest rail station is Moûtiers, about 37 kilometers down the valley, with TGV and seasonal trains from Paris; the last stretch is by road, by coach or by shuttle bus. Chambéry, Lyon and Geneva airports are the usual gateways for groups flying in, each followed by a transfer of two to three hours depending on traffic. Organisers bringing a large group should plan a private coach from the station or the airport.
